Adopt Monica

Female · Young · 1 year

Monica is very gentle, like generally all podencos. Calm, very quiet, she did not have an easy start in life, but she is still young and just wants to forget her fears and regain trust in humans. Obviously, she will need some time to feel safe again and find her joy of living, in a calm, safe and peaceful environment. The first step is to fill out the questionnaire :) For each adoption, we ask for: Copy of your ID card and Copy of your proof of address. All our dogs are: Identified by microchip, Vaccinated (including rabies), Dewormed and deparasitized. They have their European passport and a detailed health report by the veterinarian. Adult dogs are also spayed and neutered. Adoption fees depend on the expenses incurred for each dog. To submit an adoption request, please complete the form available to you. We invite you to complete the Word form and send it by email to this address:

About Monica

What life with Monica looks like

Monica is a medium-sized young adult dog waiting at 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres in France.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Monica, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Monica?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Monica on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Monica if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Monica already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Monica isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with 4 Pattes Sans Frontieres early rather than rehoming privately; they know Monica and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
